Often as a Systems Engineer/Administrator we need to know the last date/time a server rebooted.
When working with Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008, this information can easily be provided via the command prompt.
You can navigate to the command line by clicking on Start -> Run.
Once you are in the Run prompt, type ‘CMD’, and click OK. This will open a command prompt window.
Once the command line window is open you will be presented with a DOS prompt.
At the DOS prompt Type in, ‘net statistics server’, and press enter.

Sometime tracking down why a server rebooted (on its own) can be a challenge.
At least with this method, finding out when it happened will not be…. :)
Hope this helps!
